The Landing of 30,000 American forces on Iwo Jima

      Today, I would like to tackle about one of the deadliest war ever in history, it is experienced by all people during the 1945, I’m talking about the World War 11. This war has been known to extract millions of people from all walks of life here on earth. It has been one of the greatest test ever to human kind. During that time, all kinds of weapons and forces are imposed against each other just for the glorious victory for each side. Suffering, famine, deaths are almost all over the land, and according to the people like my grandparents who have experienced that war, said that it seems that the war has no end and all they could do is hide and hide for their life and somehow just to survive within a particular day. But in history there are some notable wars that serve as a key in ending the it, specifically in World War 11, when the American forces made some advances in the territories of the enemies.

     The place was Iwo Jima in Japan, a tiny island which is strategically located in the southern part of the country. For the American forces, Iwo Jima is the 1^st step in reaching Japan and starting there conquest against the Japanese empire. On this day, February 19 in 1945 exactly 71 years ago, was the historic landing of the Americans into the island. It is written in history that about 30,000 soldiers landed there to begin their mission. The mission was somehow successful at the end of the conflict, but as expected, lots of casualties have it. Both sides suffered severe number of deaths specifically those soldiers who are killed in Action, Presumed dead (Missing) and those who died from diseases and other causes.

   About sometime later, the war ended and finally Japanese empire and it’s Axis partners declared the war over and that they have surrendered to the Allied forces. This war somehow teaches us a lot of lessons, even this time, that even though we haven’t gone into that era, the stories which still existed today, tells us that no matter how forceful, powerful we are in this world, when conflicts comes, no one wins it, everyone is a loser. But someone somehow would take a step forward to take a better results for the benefit of everyone.
